GOLF BAG Filed Aug. 15.

ATTO R N EY Patented Dec. 24, 1929 UNITED STATES GLENN ARNOLD HOWE, OF SILVER'I'ON, OREGON GOLF BAG Application filed August 13, 1927. Serial No. 212,718.

This invention relates to receptacles, and its general object is to provide a golf bag that will stand erect and be retained in such position for conveniently removing and replacing clubs and other articles therefrom and therein, as well as for other purposes, and said bag can be so positioned and removed therefrom in an easy and expeditious manner with very little effort.

vide a golf bag including means for supporting the same in an upright position, that is simple in construction, inexpensive to manufacture, strong and durable and efficient in operation and service.

This invention also consists in certain other features of construction and in the combination and arrangen'ient of the several parts, to be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and specifically pointed out in the appended claim.

In describing my invention in detail reference will be had to the accompanying drawings wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the several views and in which: I

Figure 1 is a front elevation of the golf bag forming the subject matter of the present invention with partsbroken away and in section.

\ Figure 2 is a top plan view showing parts in section.

Referring to the drawings in detail, the reference numeral 1 indicates the body of the bag which is of the usual elongated cylindrical construction and has fixed thereto a handle 2 as well as a strap 3 in the usual manner. The body 1 is reinforced at its upper end by a beaded metallic collar 4 which is riveted or otherwise secured thereto as shown. The bottom is indicated by the reference numeral 5 and includes the usual annular flange 6 secured to the body by rivets 7 The bottom is provided with an opening centrally disposed therein and secured about said opening through the medium of a flange 8 and rivets or the like as shown is a sleeve .9 which is provided with an enlarged cup shape lower portion 10. A plate 11 1s fixed to the lower side of the bottom and is pro- Another object of the invention is to pro-,

disposed opening through which passes a shaft 14 mounted for slidable movement therein, and said shaft extends through said body and the sleeve 9 aswell as'a felt washer 15 disposed in the cup shaped member 10. The shaft further extends through the opening in the plate 11 and terminates in a pointed lower end 16. The rod bolts 12 are provided with spaced sleeves which have their ends engaging the flange of the disk 13 and the inner side of the body as shown.

The shaft is provided with a handle 17 on its upper end so that it can be moved to either its operative or inoperative position as will be apparent, and when it is desired to support the bag in its upright or erect position as shown, the shaft 14 is dispose-d downwardly against the tension of a coil spring 18 and due to the engagement of the pointed end of the shaft in the ground or other place, it will be obvious that the same will adequately retain the bag in its upright position. A slight pull upon the handle 17 will cause the sprmg to arrange the shaft to its inoperative position as will be apparent.

It is thought from the foregoing description that the advantages and novel features of my invention will be readily apparent.

I desire it to be understood that I may make changes in the construction and ,in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, provided that such changes fall within the scope of the appended claim.

What I claim is:

A golf bag of the character described comprising a body, a reinforcing collar for the top of said body, a bottom for said body and being provided With a centrally disposed opening arranged therein, a sleeve, a flanged cup shape-d member formed with said sleeve and being fixed to said bottom about said opening therein, aplate secured to the under= side of said bottom and formed with an opening registering with the sleeve, a flanged disk having a central openm rod bolts radiating from the flange of the 1sk and centrally securing the disk adjacent the upper end of said body to said reinforcing collar, a handled spring pressed shaft disposed in the opening of the disk, the sleeve and opening of the plate respectively, and terminating in a penetrating lower end, a felt washer disposed in said cup shaped member, and said shaft being mounted for slidable movement as and for the purpose specified.

In testimony whereof-I affix my si atnre.

GLENN ARNOLD H WE.
